Amazon has been offering a few Kindle devices at discounted rates as part of an ongoing sale. Now, there is the all-new Kindle Paperwhite Kids that too has joined the fun. This is the kid-specific model of the latest Kindle Paperwhite and is now selling for $139.99. That makes for a savings of $40 considering that it otherwise sells for $179.99.
The Kindle Paperwhite Kids is otherwise the same as the Kindle Paperwhite, with the only difference being that the Kids’ version comes with a colorful cover. There are three cover designs: Cyber City, Starfish, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. However, the latter is also the most expensive, priced at $144.99. The Kindle model also comes bundled with a power adapter, in which case, the entire bundle will set you back $159.98, or $164.98 if you opt for the Diary of a Wimpy Kid version.
The all-new Kindle Paperwhite, if you aren’t already acquainted with it, comes with a 7-inch e-paper display which offers a higher contrast ratio and 25 percent faster page turns. The new Kindle Paperwhite Kids is also the thinnest and the fastest Kindle device ever produced. It is waterproof too, which means it can be safely carried to the bath or by the beach, with no chances of the e-reader getting water-damaged.
Among the other features that set the Kindle Paperwhite Kids apart from the regular version is its 2-year worry-free guarantee and 6 months of free Amazon Kids+ subscription. With the comprehensive warranty coverage, you will have nothing to worry about. Amazon pledges to replace your Kindle with a new model in case it suffers any damage during use by the kids, something that can’t be ruled out entirely given how erratic kids’ behavior can sometimes be.
Further, with the Kindle Kids+ subscription, you will have unlimited access to thousands of books and other reading materials suitable for kids aged 3 – 12. Plus, appropriate parental controls will be built in, allowing you to completely control what your kids are up to with the device. You can add books to the kids’ library, set the device’s bedtime, view reading progress, and more. Your kids won’t be able to make any in-app purchases, either.
So, if you want something to gift your child, the all-new Kindle Paperwhite Kids may be the best option. The device will let your kids have a distraction-free reading experience and help inculcate a habit of reading. Books are a whole new world waiting to be discovered, and the Kindle Paperwhite Kids can be the right tool to embark on the journey.
With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
